STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT THE BRACKETS!

I'm not a college basketball fan, but March Madness is pretty awesome. Like fantasy football, filling out brackets is a great way for a casual fan to get more involved. But there's always a couple of people that take things way too seriously. If you've ever been at a bar and some dude is cheering loudly for your team and suddenly curses them out because the wrong running back scored a TD, you know what I mean.

This year, the NCAA added 3 additional teams and 3 additional play-in games. Two of those games are between the last at-large teams accepted into the field. These are legit teams with a real chance to advance a round or two, not Northeast South Dakota State University. We're getting two extra good games to enjoy, but so many people are complaining, "Oh no, I used to have four whole days to break down my bracket! Now I might have to change it at the last minute! Wahhhhhhhhh!"

I hate the people that don't know half the teams, then act like a scientist when it comes to picking their bracket. Just fill it out. It takes five minutes. Don't act like USC advancing is going to affect whether you win or lose. You know the chick in the cubicle over that loves Glee is going to win anyways. So America, enjoy your extra two good games and sorry you can't have another four days before you have to submit your bracket. It's Madness.
